Heat presses

High tyre quality under rough conditions

The tyre gets its final shape in heating presses. The components involved must therefore withstand the harsh conditions of vulcanizing the green tyres. In addition to heat, steam and pressure, they are also exposed to aggressive liquids such as releasing agents or special hydraulic oils. Balluff has mastered the entire array of the required sensors and offers high-quality, robust and long-life technology for the highest tyre quality: This includes high-precision position measurement systems that are insensitive to contamination, pressure sensors for high temperatures, high-temperature-rated inductive sensors and high-performance network technology.

Application examples

Reliable closing stroke, even under extreme conditions

Reliable closing stroke, even under extreme conditions

When the green tire is pressed into the hot mold under high pressure with hot water, the heating press must be tightly closed. A reliable closing stroke is ensured by Balluff BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensors, even under high temperatures and strong vibrations.

Reliable pressure transmitter for high temperatures

Balluff pressure transmitters ensure that the pressure in the heat press is reliably monitored. They are distinguished by a broad temperature range of –40 to 125 °C and reliable measurement technology. The rugged transmitters are flexible to use: you can select from eleven different pressure ranges, voltage or current output, as well as various process connections.

Reduce costs with IO-Link

All the pneumatic lines come together in the control cabinet. With our IO-Link valve terminal connectors you use a simple industry standard cable to connect with the controller. This makes it easy to control the reliable movement of the pneumatic cylinders. This reduces cost: with IO-Link, you can reduce the wiring effort and require less cable and hose material.
